Idle-Equipment und Stundenausfallverluste durch manuelle Verfolgung
Definition
Manual timesheets create a 24–48 hour lag between work performed and data entry. Project managers cannot see bottlenecks or underutilized workers until the next day. Equipment rental is not canceled on time (30–40% idle time costs). Workers queue for tools/assignments. Some labor hours are non-billable due to reassignment delays. Premium overtime is triggered to meet deadlines because capacity was wasted earlier in the week.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 8–12% of labor capacity lost to idle time and manual coordination; €30,000–€120,000 annually per 50-person crew (calc: 50 workers × 1,800 hrs/yr × €30–40/hr × 10% = €27,000–36,000); equipment idle costs €10,000–25,000 per heavy asset per year
- Frequency: Continuous, compounding weekly and monthly
- Root Cause: Manual timesheet data entry prevents real-time visibility. Project managers make capacity allocation decisions based on yesterday's data, not live conditions. Equipment utilization is not tracked against actual work output.
